Thinking Twice

On Tuesday afternoon, my mother's doctor wants her to be seen at UCI Med. Ctr. for a followup appointment. At the time I made the appointment, last week, I thought things would improve, but instead, they may have worsened, since mom is still in bed, asleep all day, and unable to move as well as lacking totally in awareness of her condition. The idea of the driver getting her to UCI med ctr without re-injuring her leg is scary to me, even if I get one of the caregivers to go along with them. I don't know how much money to offer for that, either. So I called the Physician's asst. who works with my mom's doctor and asked for advice. I guess I will hear from her later.

About Me

It feels odd to tell people, when they ask you what you do, that you are a poet. It is of course not a proper profession, if by "proper" one means a job that brings in money.
It is most certainly an occupation though. Reading, writing, going to poetry events make up a sizable percentage of my life.
